Great voice, struggles with prosody
The voice itself is great. It sounds very human. But it struggles with pronouncing certain things and where to pause in sentences and phrases. The PDF I fed it had the word clothing split between two lines with a between CLOTH on first line and ING on second line. It pronounced it as two words instead of one. Another example is the words great apes. It pronounced it “gray-it ai-ips.” The word laid was pronounced “lay-id.” It also pauses at the end of every line for as long as at the end of every song entrance, making the reading choppy. The funniest was when humans was split between lines as hu-mans and it pronounced it “who” pause “mans.”
Would love using the voice, if the reading flowed and pronunciation improved!

Phenomenal, wish there was a built in dictionary too.
Strange/Foreign Pronunciations 🙅♂️, but Human-Sounding 👍
The speech started off sounding so surprisingly *normal*/acceptable (which is above par for local iOS TTS). And then it reached the many words in the source text that include -eight (eight, weight) instantly revealed that all voice/region variants apparently come from one distinctively unusual/foreign source.
It would be great if we could train/adopt new voices based on voice recordings (voice cloning).
Continuing to avoid using this for now.

Incredible piece of software
As per the title I’m staggered that text to speech with Kokoro to now run on an iPhone and this piece of software coming out free is a brilliant GUI wrapper, really grateful for the developers work
Simply incredible
Thank you so much for building this
